Ocean Breeze_Testing

[cmzaha]

I just poured a 1lb test batch of Ocean Breeze from California Candle Supply. Oh my gosh it smells fantastic, soaps perfectly. Now the wait to find out if the scent holds in cp and if it discolors. Do not expect it to but one never knows. Will report back if it sticks. It could become a favorite of mine very quickly. Smells like a fresh breeze coming off wild flowers. :clap: Keeping my fingers crossed it holds. Tomorrow I am going to test Sweet Pea

That sounds fantastic, Carolyn. It would be great to find a water scent that (a) does not accelerate and (b) sticks well. I have tried a bunch and it seems to be one or the other. Please let us know how it turns out.

I love the smell of sweet pea, but the one I bought accelerated so much I couldn't use it. I hope yours is better!

Sounds lovely. I'm with saponista on the sweet pea, had to give up on it due to the acceleration. Hope you have better luck with it!

The Sweet Pea did accelerate a bit but not horribly, and was able to swirl 1 color by separating the batter and adding the Fo only to the uncolored portion. It is a heater uppper to the point of cracking so I put it in the freezer, of course now it has a partial gel. I just cut it and it does smell really nice, will report back if it holds up. I am going to get a lb of it this Friday so hopefully it holds up, otherwise it will make lovely lotion and scrubs

Great news about the ocean breeze. Wish I could smell it. Mmm, sweet pea for scrubs sounds divine!
